2024 Clos de la Roilette (Domaine Coudert), Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais
$33.00
100% Gamay. In time for the 2022 vintage, the Coudert family acquired a little less than a hectare on the Moulin-à-Vent hill in front of the estate near the lieu-dit of La Rochelle. As for all Roilette vines and wines, the farming is sustainable and all vineyard work is by hand; the Moulin is made identically as well. Vinification is traditional, semi-carbonic Beaujolais style. The whole clusters are harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in open-top concrete tanks. Maceration lasts about 14 days, with a submerged cap rather than punchdowns. The wine is aged in large oak foudres from 80 to 100 years old for 9 months before bottling. Sulfur use is quite minimal. Note that the label differs from the classic Clos de la Roilette wines and features the Coudert family name instead.
